Probably the thing I am most anticipating for #gencon2025 is the official launch of Guildlands. We are hosting 16 events with the inventors Ken Boyter and Kedric Winks. Play one of six guilds and help rebuild the city of Ferrum's Ford. Event registration is now live.

One of my favourite puzzles from Cobble Hill is our 1,000 piece DoodleTown camping image "Call of the Wild". Illustrated by award-winning Canadian cartoonist @davewhamond.bsky.social. The image is so fun!! I have included 3 close-ups so you can see Dave's funny and creative work.

Seems like there are a lot of game inventors on Bluesky. Here is story some of you may find of interest.
We met Luis Dinis at Nuremberg last year at the Game Inventors Conference. He was 1 of about 140 inventors with a table. We only had time to stop at about 10 tables - glad we stopped at his.

Posting my favourite pic from PAXU. We had Greg Preslicka, the inventor of Intergalactic Plumber, showing off his new game. You'd think this was the Greg... but nope... it was someone else who wandered by. How's that for a fortunate coincidence 🤔
